Year; 2015 modern era
As Jake left a nurse walked in.
"Erin can leave whenever she likes. Just so you know. And your insurance covered the whole cost. Mr. Corneil."
The nurse walks out.
"Well okay then. Erin you want to go home?"
Lincoln asks Erin.
"Ya I hate this place, it smells too clean."
She responds standing up from the bed and walking over to Gracie, Grace Lee and you. Lincoln and Julie lead the way out of the room.

You get back to Erins house and all Four of you immediately head to her backyard.
Up in the treehouse the four of you are silent.
"We need to talk, again, all four of us."
Gracie finally says.
You let them talk a bit well you think.
Something keeps nagging at you in the back of your brain. You just can't decide what in the world it is.
You look over to the trees in Erins yard. Then to her fire pit. Trees and fire. Trees and fire.
Trees and fire.
Salem witch trials.
Witches were burned to the stakes.
Wait. We learned about this in school.
There were covens, each had a supreme. The supreme was determined by who could conduct all seven wonders.
Telekinesis.
Mind manipulation.
Pyroignition.
Resurrection.
Teleportation.
Time manipulation.
Telepathic.
Wait.
Erin said she died. And now she's alive.
Gracie said no one could know about Erin dying. And now nobody knows. And you, You somehow seem to stop time.
Wait.
Waaiit.
W a i t.
You guys couldn't be. That stuffs not real. Right?
"(Y/n) are you with us?"
Erin gets you back to listening.
"Guys were witches."
Is all that comes out of your mouth.
"What? That stuffs not real."
Gracie says completely blowing it off.
"Think about it. There's the seven wonders. Telekinesis, mind manipulation, pyroignition, resurrection, teleportation, time manipulation and being telepathic. Erin resurrected herself, you manipulated all the minds at the hospital to think Erin only fainted and I manipulated the time so I wouldn't get ran over."
All your friends look at you.
"Sorry to interrupt and stuff but I was supposed to call my mom at lunch time and I forgot so I'm going to go grab my phone from inside."
Grace Lee politely excuses herself by standing up, then disappearing. Right into thin air.
"Where'd she go?"
Erin asks.
"Teleportation...."
Gracie says finally seeming to believe you.
Erins mouth hangs open in amazement. Within a few seconds she pops back. Just appears.
"Guyssss I just teleported."
Grace Lee seems a bit scared.
"Oh my, were witches."
Gracie sounds happy and sad at the same time.
"We won't get burnt to the stakes will we?"
Erin asks. You tell her,
"Not if we're careful."
"My mom wants me home"
Grace Lee tell you guys.
"Okay I suppose ours do too"
Gracie points to you and her.
The four of you get down from the treehouse and walk to the front of Erins house. She waves goodbye to the three of you.
Gracie's house is just two houses to left from Erins. Then Three from Gracie's is Grace Lees, and then five whole house from Grace Lees is yours. You all live on the same street. Washington Avenue. In Twin Ports, Oregon.
When you say goodbye to Grace Lee you pull out your phone. 4 new text messages. 3 are from your mom. She will see you soon no need to text her back. The last shows its from Jake Stoitin.
It reads
So how's Erin?
You write back,
She's good. I'm lucky you were there to drive me. Thanks again by the way.
You are at your house now. You go around back and through a window into your room. You don't like using the front door. You throw your bag on your bed and put your phone in your pocket. It smells like chicken pot pies so you run upstairs and into your kitchen.
"Hello honey I heard about your hospital fiasco."
Your mom comes over and hugs you.
You lightly hug her back.
"Ya she fainted and I called 9-1-1 and then an ambulance came and that was that."
You tell her well you grab a chicken pot pie and a hot pad.
"Is it okay if I eat downstairs tonight?"
You ask even though you were going to go downstairs anyway.
"I suppose I only made two for you, I'm going out with the other moms tonight."
She was talking about Gracie, Grace Lee and Erins moms.
"Ya that's fine but before you leave, can you tell me anything about the Salem witch trials, like do we have any ancestors that played roles in that time?"
You ask.
"I will tell you later. Bye."
And she left. Very abruptly.
Hmm.
